Avaakai is the name for the raw mango pickle prepared in Andhra, and is possibly the BEST pickle in India and the world - at least for me.My memory of Avaakai and why its so good is because it was made at home by my mom and her neighbor, and the batch they produced (lasted nearly a decade) was the BESTEST one ever ever produced in the world.

When I worked in Mumbai as a bachelor I was at the mercy of
what Mumbai had to offer and usually very hard to replicate what ghar ka khaana
and swaad for me.Neither is good food
easily readily available, affordable nor is it healthy. (one of my friends who
used to eat from a road side idli supplier was infected by hepatitis – he
learnt it the hard way).

Television in India bloomed pretty late and even after it
took off it took forever to get traction.Today some of the best talent in India work in television, right from
production to scripts to acting – and this is across both Hindi General
entertainment to regional TV content. I think Indian talent is among the best
globally and they work hard and try and be as professional as they come.

However the first ‘star’ in the true sense (at least for me
and folks of my generation) would be the late Priya Tendulkar.
